The Roommate Anti-Pattern

Contents

Problem

You need a space for meetings and as a lab, to store and work on materials for projects. In order to minimize rent or out of sympathy, you think it’s great when someone lives in your space. But somehow it doesn’t work, as you cannot use the lab anymore.

Implementation

Guest are ﬁne, but don’t let anyone live there. Kick them out if necessary.

The Labitat implementation

None, as of yet. However, I (Jchillerup) presume that we will not have people living in the space.

It would be cool to have something very close to the space where people can crash for the night. Maybe a trailer, maybe a complete Hacker Hostel. (Juul)

at one time years ago someone did live for some week in prg and that is not a good idea, although the one we had was housebroken but not all hackers are.(emborg). sometime you have deadline or it have gotten so late that you can't get home, but no living there.

we should just do what all the other spaces do: have a place for crashing when doing late night projects and let guests from other spaces stay there, but don't let anyone use it as their primary sleeping quarters. (Juul)
